Pence: ‘Mexico Has Done More To Secure Our Border In 10 Days Than Democrats In Congress Have In 10 YEARS’

Vice President Mike Pence praised the efforts of Mexican authorities Tuesday, arguing that they had done more to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border than the Democrats in Congress.

“Mexico is keeping its promise & now sending 15,000 troops to border to help with crisis,” Pence tweeted. “Meanwhile Dems won’t fund beds for migrant children. Mexico continues to do more than Congressional Dems to secure our border, and its time for them to STEP UP!”

What Americans hear tomorrow night will only confirm that Mexico has done more in the last 10 DAYS to secure the southern border than Democrats in Congress have done in the last 10 YEARS! #LatinosForTrumppic.twitter.com/MJ9ZWxMMMk

Democrats have repeatedly refused funding for additional beds in migrant detention centers, all while blaming President Donald Trump for the overcrowded conditions. Freshman Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for the detention centers to be closed and no additional funding, but offered no solutions as to what should be done about the influx of illegal immigrants.

The GOP has supported building mass concentration camps on the southern border. Kids & families are dying.
